Articulated Dust Port Cover For the Ryobi BT3000 Table Saw
This accessory for the BT3000 (BT3K) is intended to complete the process to enclose the cabinet of the BT3K. The purpose of this exercise is twofold. First, by closing up as many of the large openings in the cabinet as possible, better dust extraction can be done within the shrouded blade area. This should also help keep dust out of the motor. Secondly, the more openings in that are closed, the less noise should escape and thus make the saw quieter to operate. The first part of this exercise was undertaken by creating a “belly pan” to close off the bottom of the cabinet and to collect any dust that didn’t get collected via the saw’s dust port. At that time, the triangular openings in the top front and rear of the cabinet were closed off and the vent slots on the left side of the cabinet were closed as well. This cover project will close off the remaining large opening leaving just the motor vent on the right side of the cabinet, the slot in the throat plate, and the crescent shaped slot in the front of the cabinet that the tilt/elevation hand wheel operates in....

SMT Mounted Tenon Jig
SMT Mounted Tenon Jig
By Mark “Black Walnut” Stripes
Since the Ryobi BT3 series of table saws does not have a miter slot users are forced to make their own tenon jigs. While building the first prototype I decided that the best way to make it move laterally was to attach it to the SMT using the front t-slot. This jig features micro-adjustment as well as adjustments for different angled tenons. ... -

These words and pictures are an attempt to get back to basics and de-mystify the subject. ... -

Maroon & Maple - A Mobile BT3 Cabinet
Maroon & Maple – A Mobile BT3 Cabinet By Sam Conder Ever since my first BT3000, I have wanted a large mobile cabinet for it and an accompanying wide table kit. It took me almost seven years, and an upgrade to my BT3100, but I finally got around to constructing my cabinet. This document gives the reader some construction notes to go on, as well as some photos. ...

BT3100 Compact 4-Wheel Dolly By Rick Slaugh (rslaugh) I live in a townhouse with a single car garage (which is an oxymoron because the garage will never house a car) that I share with my wife’s vintage clothing business. Needless to say sawdust and vintage clothing doesn'’t mix very well so my “shop” needs to be portable and move to the driveway when I actually want to use it. I bought the accessory kit for my BT primarily for the 4” casters. I soon learned that the casters are a poor solution for me because of the location underneath a storage cabinet where the saw gets stored. ... -

Full Extension Hardwood Drawer Slides
Full Extension Hardwood Drawer Slides – By Mark Stripes
This jig enhances safety while milling hardwood lower drawer slides. It is made out of 1⁄2" Baltic birch plywood. Overall dimensions are 10" by 21 3/4". I made a handle at the front edge out of a block of walnut 4/4 by 2" by 6" with a 1⁄2" cove for the grip section and a 1/4" round over on all top corners. The toggle clam hold down block is 1⁄2" by 2" by 6" with a slot 5/16" wide to allow for adjustment. The toggle clamp is held onto this block with 2 #10-32tpi x1/2" machine screws. On the back of this block 2 “t-nuts” are set in so as to be flush. The slot for the saw blade is 1/4" wide. The slots for the end hold down and the toggle clamp hold down are both 5/16" wide with a channel 1⁄2" wide centered just deep enough to capture the bolt heads. To cut these slots affix a fence to your panel, install a 5/16" bit into your router and cut the slot, then without moving the fence change to a 1⁄2" straight cutter, set your depth to the thickness of your bolt head, cut the 2nd slot. Remove the fence, and repeat for other slot. To mill the 1/4" slot set you fence on your router table so that the center of your 1/4" straight cutter is 9/16" from the fence. Mark your stock for where you want to begin and end the slot. Turn on router, align your starting mark with the bit and lower the panel onto the cutter, and cut until you reach the stop line. Allow a couple of inches on each end of this slot so that you will be able to use the edge of the jig to track against your rip fence while cutting the slides, as shown here: ... -

Tool Triggered Power Cord For BT3000 And Other Tools
For many years, I have been using the power switch on my BT3000 to turn on the shop vac as well as the saw itself. My old shop vac was a low powered unit and together with the BT3K’s motor didn’t exceed the 20 amp. rating of the contacts in the switch. That all changed when I replaced the shop vac with an industrial model of Shop Vac. After several weeks of forgetting to turn on the vac when I started the saw, I knew I had to go back to the automatic method of starting the dust collector. Fortunately, Sears had the solution for this problem. They have a $20 tool triggered outlet device that plugs into a standard duplex outlet and provides two outlets that are switched on when the tool that is plugged into the primary receptacle on the device is turned on....

Wide Crosscut Fence For The BT3000
Wide Crosscut Fence for BT3000This fence is used to extend the crosscut capacity of the Sliding Miter Table (SMT) from 16 inches to 23 1⁄2 inches. The design was originally done to address a question someone had asked on the Ryobi toolforum about cross cutting wide panels. After several people had attempted to add a fence to the front edge of the SMT and had drilled holes in the table to do so, some folks argued that there ought to be a way to accomplish the mountin...

Ryobi BT3000 Router Fence Construction Notes
Ryobi BT3000 Router Fence Construction Notes Design by Jim Frye This router fence is designed for use with the Ryobi BT3000 rip fence. It is essentially a hollow wooden box that attaches to the top T-slots of the rip fence and encloses the router bit that is mounted in the BT3K accessory table. The fence has a chip collection port at the right end of the fence to be used with a 2 1/2”diameter shop vac hose. The fence also has an adjustable guard for the bit opening, a 6”high fence for handling vertical work pieces and for clamping hold downs, and threaded inserts in the fence face for the attachment of accessory jigs like a pivot pin or a jointer fence. The rip fence remains usable with this router fence mounted. ...

Folding Outfeed Table for BT3000
Folding Outfeed Table for BT3000 Designed by Jim Frye When I first purchased a table saw, the first thing I knew I’d need was an outfeed table for it. The BT3000 didn’t have one and anything I’d seen on the after-market was intended for a cabinet saw. I’d seen shop-built outfeed tables in several of the wood working magazines and decided to make my own. I found a discarded file cabinet top from a Steelcase unit that was 18”by 30”by 1 3/16” thick. It was made of MDF and covered in off white lamin...
